Nobody thought much of the giants going into last year? What planet were you on? They were favored to win the Division.

Actually better question would be what planet were you on? The Eagles were HEAVY favorites last year..and were slight favorites again this year before the season started. You don't have to take my word on it, just look at the Vegas lines.
If you're goal is to make fun of someone you should at least be correct.

You do realize the Pats were up 14-0 before any of the INTs that you can argue were "flukey". Spin the Gregory INT any way you want, but it was a great defensive play. That was an example of the Pats outplaying the Jets, not some kind of a fluke.

As the passing game in a blowout, most of those passing numbers are irrelevant. Brady got his three TDs when the game was in hand in the first half.

No excuse me, but the Jets were only down 7-0 when the Greene fumble was recovered and Brady converted it into 7 points on the next play. So there's seven points off a turnover to make it 14-0. So it was only 7-0 in the 2nd quarter before all these crazy unforseeable turnovers happened, and then Brady capitalized off the gift he was given with the first one.

Then you have the "ass fumble" that was returned by the Pats for seven, again another freak occurance that the Pats didn't earn their points off of.

Then you have the freak McKnight fumble that was returned 22 yards for a TD, once again another seven points for the birthday boys which they never earned.

What? Please re-post without the "making fun of somebody" part because I never did that.

And so on, and so on, and so on... Shall I continue?

Why do you insist on calling Sanchez interception and fumble as "freak" or "crazy" or "unforseable" occurrences?

Since when are fumbles (by Sanches) and interceptions (by Sanchez) "random"?

Those things just "happen" out of the blue?

I am convinced Philly Statz is back.

It's absolutely DWC. Who else would start a thread proclaiming the Jets great #5 passing defense while ignoring the fact that their D is really a near worst in the league 29th in scoring. And then to follow up with cherry picking stats to make the ridicuous claim that Snatchez outplayed Brady in that thrashing.

No sir, the Jets embarrassed THEMSELVES on national tv... You didn't outplay anybody and the stats prove it. Your quarterback threw for only 20 more yards and 11 percent less completion rate than the quarteback you say "sucks"... Can you explain that for me please? If my quarterback sucks yet completed more of his passes than yours what does that say about your quarterback in this game?

Enough said, just accept that fact that you got handed a monumental gift in this game off crazy unforseeable turnovers and move on okay?

I'd rather have the qb who completes less passes for more yards. Oh, and mark threw for a few of those yards during garbage time.

What? Please re-post without the "making fun of somebody" part because I never did that.

This was directed at Patman who was putting someone down (maybe you?) with "what planet were you on the Giants were favored" they weren't. It's either a lie or a mistake, but either way if hes going to insult someone, he should be accurate.

They were MISTAKES made by a horrible football player.

No excuse me (again), but you think Mark Sanchez is the only quarterback in NFL history to run into his own lineman and fumble a football? Uh... Eli Manning has done this, Drew Brees has done this, nearly every runningback who ever played football in the NFL has done this, and when it's happens it is unplanned and occurs as the result of A COLLISION...

Fumbling a ball as the result of a collision isn't same as just dropping the ball for no reason. Sanchez ran into his own lineman and had the ball knocked loose. Ask any runningback and they will tell you the same thing has happened to them.

Again, this is a random occurance that cannot be attributed to "bad play" but rather to "freak circumstance".

I don't really recall other qb's doing this. However, he didn't "run into Moore" Moore was thrown at him. Wilfork deserves more credit than he's gotten for that play. The focus has been on the embarrassment of Sanchez (rightly so for the most part) rather than giving credit to the beast who made the play happen.

And the interception? Lets hear how that wasn't his fault.... 3...2...1...

Whatever the reason was, there was a collision, and as a result of the collision the ball was fumbled. Most fumbles in football occur this way. Very rarely does anyone fumble a football without some excessive force being applied. The point was made that Sanchez is a bad quarterback because he fumbled the ball there, which isn't true. Plenty of RB's fumble the ball every week in the NFL just the same way.

Heading into the playoffs during their two Superbowl runs nobody would have said the New York Giants were one of the better teams heading into the playoffs. They just managed to get in with a 9-7 record and had to play all their games on the road. They looked very "one n' done" to just about anyone who followed them during the season.

Again, once the playoffs start all bets are off... Just get there, and once you're there you're a playoff team with a shot at a ring just like everyone else.

Anything is possible just not very probable. My preference is to have a strongly built team and not have to win the nfl lotto to win a sb. Luck is always involved but the jets only chance is blatant luck.

The Giants are clearly regular season underachievers but they have a strong roster that is capable of making a run come playoff time.

Manning has proven he can carry a team and make plays.

Sanchez has not. He has shown that when complemented by a top 5 d and top 5 run game he is good enough to get by with as long as everything goes perfect and he isn't asked to do much.

The Giants D has proven they can get after any qb consistently.

The Jets D only does that in small spurts and has proven a strong front 4 is infinitely more valuable then a strong back 4 or rather star corners.

The jets current roster is dysfunctional and major changes need to be made. Blind faith will not fix the jets problems. Neither will cherry picking stats and taking them out of context.

And the interception? Lets hear how that wasn't his fault.... 3...2...1...

Would you like me to count up all the interceptions across the league this week and see how many of them are the quarterbacks fault? Guess what, statistically all of them are... even the ones Tom Brady throws.

Looked to me like he ran into Moore. Moore didn't fall and Wilfork's arms didn't extend until after mark took out Moore's legs. I didn't see Moore get shoved back a few feet and then collide with Mark. I saw him fall on a guy after his legs were taken out.

How man did Brady throw Thursday, the day you said he didn't outplay Sanchez?

No they were not, the eagles wire at 16:1 and the giants were at 20 to one to make the SB , yes I was wrong, but Billy also inferred that "no one" gave them a chance. The SB odds were pretty close. And it was not a lie with an intent to decieve, i should have checked.

Yeah because brady has never set any nfl qb records. Clearly he gets his stats in garbage time. Context is everything... Using marks yardage is not much an argument. That was the point.

Now you bring up an interesting subject... because once a team is up by three scores or more how much of that teams QB stats are "padded" by the fact that the QB is now able to take certain chances that he wouldn't otherwise take if the score was closer?

This is an interesting study, because much of Tom Brady's stats may indeed have been attained during "garbage time".
